BioBlitz 2013: Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve

Help us count and identify species in the wetlands of Louisiana! National Geographic and the National Park Service are hosting a BioBlitz in Jean Lafitte National Historical Park & Preserve in New Orleans, Louisiana on May 17-18, 2013. Activity at the BioBlitz will be concentrated in the Barataria Preserve, a large area south of New Orleans with habitats ranging from hardwood forests to swamps, and home to alligators, egrets, dwarf palmetto trees, and so much more. An abundance of organisms can be found across all habitat types in the preserve.
